  <default_description>Un million de dollars en poche, une ancienne prostitu&#233;e s'enfuit pour rejoindre son nouvel amant. Elle est &#224; l'origine du casse de la Mercantile Trust Bank, pr&#233;sid&#233;e par son mari, le r&#233;v&#233;rend Cleveland Carter. Pour coincer la voleuse infid&#232;le, l'&#233;poux bafou&#233; fait appel au capitaine Clarence Jefferson, un flic corrompu qui tue le mari dans l'espoir de r&#233;cup&#233;rer le magot pour son propre compte. Mais celui-ci ignore qu'un ancien militaire, &quot;le plus pervers des psychopathes d&#233;cor&#233;s par l'&#201;tat pour services rendus &#224; la nation&quot;, est lui aussi sur les traces de la fuyarde. &lt;P&gt;Apr&#232;s &lt;i&gt;L'Odeur de la haine&lt;/i&gt; qui nous entra&#238;nait dans l'enfer d'un p&#233;nitencier du Texas, Tim Willocks plonge dans l'atmosph&#232;re &#233;touffante des marais de Louisiane peupl&#233;s de forcen&#233;s en tout genre. Lors de cette poursuite infernale, haine et violence sont palpables &#224; chaque page. Du grand art. &lt;I&gt;--Christophe Dupuis&lt;/I&gt; </default_description>

You meet a stream of loveable and not so loveable characters and some hardcore cockney spellings that will force you to reread a few pages.

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't read this for the cover, my fascination and simultaneous utter disgust of the x culture or even the fact that this was written by the same author as &quot;Trainspotting&quot;. No, I read this because this is the book that Mikey Way was looking at and suggested they name their band after it....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31020428">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I picked the book up because I heard that the Way brothers had read it and it had influenced the band name My Chemical Romance.  It is the kind of book that you want to pry your eyes from while you're reading it because it is too shocking, but at the same time you keep reading just to see if you're ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19274729">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another hit by Irvine Welsh.  The dialect of the scottish/britsh characters comes through intensely in his writing, at times it's almost a struggle to read/comprehend.  His dialect, more than his stories are what draw me to this writer.  The book contains three short stories about people in the UK, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26800633">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Definitely a disturbing read. Whenever i read Welsh i always find myself looking around and wondering whether my life is pointless as he can portray. Often makes you sit back and wonder &quot; Shit, wonder which way my life is going?&quot;.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have no idea why this description is in French because I read this book in ENGLISH people, and it's freaking genius. It's extremely dark and not for everybody but I love Irvine Welsh's colorful writing and realism. ]]></body>
